Phase inversion is the change in emulsion from o/w to w/o and vice versa.
- An emulsion is a colloid that consists of two non-homogenous liquids where one liquid is dispersed as minute droplets in the other liquid. The two liquids are immiscible.
- There are two types of emulsions- water in oil (w/o) and oil in water (o/w). In o/w, water is the continuous phase while in w/o, the oil is the continuous phase.
- These two forms of emulsions can be interconverted by phase inversion. This is done by changing the affinity of the emulsifier from one phase to another or by changing the ratio of oil and water in the emulsion.
